Product Information

Full details

The Merrell Speed ARC Matis is designed for active adults who demand a blend of lightweight agility and technical performance for fast-paced trekking and daily trail use. Its primary strength lies in the high-traction Vibram Mega Grip outsole and the balanced comfort of the Float Pro Foam midsole, making it an excellent choice for varied terrain. A key caveat to note is that with a 3mm lug depth, this shoe excels on technical paths but may not provide deep-mud clearance compared to aggressive mountain boots.

FAQs

Is the Merrell Speed ARC Matis waterproof?

No, this model features a breathable mesh lining designed for airflow and is not waterproof.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The shoe has an 8mm drop, which provides a standard, comfortable transition during hiking.

Can I remove the insole to use my own orthotics?

Yes, the EVA foam insole is fully removable, allowing you to insert custom-fit orthotics.

Is this shoe suitable for deep mud?

The 3mm lug depth is best for standard trails. For heavy, deep mud, a shoe with deeper, more aggressive lugs (5mm+) would be more effective.

How much does one shoe weigh?

The weight is 350 grams for a single shoe, making it a lightweight option for active trekking.

How do I maintain the Vibram sole?

Keep the sole free of debris and mud to ensure the rubber maintains maximum surface contact and grip.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe

Ensure the heel is locked into the TPU cup and adjust the lacing pressure, specifically using a heel-lock knot.

Feeling pebbles or debris inside

The shoe is highly breathable due to the mesh; consider wearing technical gaiters if trekking in loose sand or gravel.

Reduced cushioning over time

The Float Pro Foam may compress after heavy usage; replace the removable EVA insole to restore initial underfoot comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Speed ARC Matis, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: After each use on dirty trails, wipe away mud with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical detergents as these can degrade the EVA materials and mesh.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, as this can cause the adhesive and synthetic components to warp or delaminate.
  3. Insole Care: If the shoe feels tight, remove the factory EVA insole to create more internal volume. If the insole becomes compressed over time, replace it with a compatible aftermarket version.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the degradation of the rubber outsole and synthetic upper materials.
